-to see the best stockmen...

-..from Wales and the rest of the UK

-competing in Llanelwedd.

-Welcome to highlights

-of the 2015 Winter Fair.

-Despite the rain, there was a great

-atmosphere on the showground.

-With Welsh exhibitors...

-..winning the pig, sheep

-and cattle championships...

-..it was a successful fair

-for Wales.

-There's nowhere better

-than the Winter Fair...

-..to see the quality meat produced

-in Wales and the rest of the UK.

-On Monday,

-Meinir was in the Sheep Ring...

-..with one of the Winter Fair's

-most successful sections.

-I'm in good company

-to watch the competition.

-I'm with the judge's son, Mr Eirwyn

-Richards, Cwmcelynen, Pumsaint.

-Welcome.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-I'm fine, thanks.

-What is your father looking for?

-Firstly, you must have

-a matching pair of lambs.

-He'll feel and assess the lambs

-to make sure they really match up.

-There should be an equal amount

-of fat across their backs.

-The shape of the back leg

-is also important.

-This is the Butchers' Weights

-section.

-This specific class is for a pair

-of lambs 86kg to 90.5kg inclusive.

-That's an acceptable weight.

-It's the perfect weight, really.

-They'll slaughter out

-at around 52% to 54%.

-I think he's made his decision.

-Steve and Sara Gibbons.

-The winners are from Brecon.

-Massive congratulations. A regular

-occurrence from year to year!

-Beginners' luck, I think.

-The Fair's

-most meaty and shapely breeds...

-..are usually found

-in the Continental Breeds section.

-Last year, the Supreme Champions

-came from this class, the Beltex.

-We've got 14 pairs here.

-Yes.

-There's amazing stock

-in this class.

-The Beltex are pretty close

-to the perfect meat lambs.

-This pair is owned by Dafydd Lewis

-from Cwrt-Y-Cadno, Pumsaint.

-He's already won two firsts

-and two thirds.

-Dafydd has had a lot of success

-over the years.

-We've seen him speak to the media

-and with his stock at shows.

-He does very well.

-He's won the Supreme Championship

-here twice in the past.

-Yes, it's an incredible achievement.

-He's turned out

-an eye-catching pair again.

-The history of the breed

-is very interesting.

-They came to the UK in 1989.

-The way they've moved on since then

-is incredible.

-The prize stays in Wales.

-It's Dafydd Lewis, Pentwyn,

-Pumsaint.

-That's great.

-I'm very happy for him.

-Dafydd Lewis and Geraint,

-congratulations once more.

-Are you going

-for the triple crown this year?

-We'll try.

-You've won

-the Supreme Championship twice.

-Yes, and we've had two firsts

-in two different classes.

-We've got half a foot in tomorrow,

-so who knows?

-Good luck and congratulations.

-Good luck and congratulations.

-

-Thank you.

-Geraint

-must be doing something right!

-You don't have to look far for

-food and drink at the Winter Fair.

-With over 60 companies and producers

-at the Food Hall...

-..there was a perfect excuse

-to shelter from the rain and to eat!

-Amy Turner from Bluestone Brewing,

-tell us a bit about your products.

-This is the Rockin' Robin.

-And we have

-beetroot and garlic pasta.

-It's produced from scratch

-in Llechryd near Cardigan.

-It cooks in seconds.

-It only takes 60 seconds.

-As fast as that?

-As fast as that?

-

-Yes.

-Len from Cardigan Bay Fish...

-..I understand this is your

-first time at the Winter Fair.

-Yes, our first time. A bit

-of a shock, as it's quite busy.

-We have a haddock chowder

-made by Mandy.

-That's selling well. It's her secret

-recipe. She has many secrets!

-She also has a secret recipe

-for potted crab.

-This is a new competition. There's

-a big interest in the competition.

-Yes, I think that as people

-who are part of the pig industry...

-..we need to take pride in the fact

-there is a competition like this...

-..in the 21st century

-and that we're moving forward.

-We're halfway through

-this competition at present.

-Tell us a little

-about the competition.

-Methods. How tidy are they?

-How correct are they?

-We need a minimal amount of waste.

-Frequently in any industry,

-waste eats the profit.

-Today, we have four butchers

-of different ages.

-They're showing,

-to use a butcher's term...

-..a good cross-section

-of the methods.

-You can see traditional methods and

-the young chaps bring new methods.

-It's important

-that everyone who enjoys meat...

-..can see that we have produce.

-We really should welcome

-this competition warmly.

-It's great to see so much interest.

-There are people here watching.

-They appreciate the work

-that goes into preparing the meat.

-Ready to go.

-It is an important competition

-for the YFC movement.

-Many of these competitors...

-..will judge stock

-in the cattle ring in the future.

-A lot of them have a good eye.

-They just need to focus

-on their reasons.

-What exactly are the requirements

-of the competition?

-There are four animals

-in each class.

-The first task is to place them

-in the same order as the judge has.

-They then have ten minutes to note

-their reasons for doing so...

-..and then two minutes to

-explain their reasons to the judge.

-It's a special task,

-and unique at the fair.

-It's quite an art, to be honest.

-Many of these started

-when they were ten years old.

-The older ones

-don't even need paper.

-There are four age groups

-in the YFC competitions.

-Yes, they're split into under 16s,

-under 18s, under 21s and under 26s.

-This is the Pairs Championship.

-We can see some fantastic pigs

-in the corner to my left.

-They are proper butchers' pigs.

-They're a small, handy size.

-They're real porkers.

-What kind of weight

-would they be after slaughter?

-I think they'd be around 50kgs.

-They'd be perfect for your shop.

-They'd be perfect for your shop.

-

-Yes, perfect for my shop.

-We can see

-Gerallt and Joyce Owens' pigs.

-They are Landrace

-crossed with Welsh pigs.

-They're smart pigs.

-I would say they're bacon

-or cutter pigs.

-They're heavier,

-but they're a wonderful pair.

-Where is that red rosette going?

-Who will be the pairs champion?

-Gerallt and Joyce Owens

-have taken it...

-..with the Landrace cross

-Welsh Pig pair.

-The Baby Beef classes

-always attract a lot of interest.

-These animals often go on to become

-Supreme Champions of the future.

-Once again,

-they were well worth a look.

-I'm joined by Andrew Davies

-from Llangadog.

-He's an old hand

-at this competition.

-What was the highest price

-you achieved?

-We sold one for 7,000

-in Brecon some four years ago.

-These sell really well

-if you produce a good one.

-They're a good size

-to make a profit on.

-Not many rise to the top.

-You might only get one

-in your whole working life.

-The competition has moved on

-from ten or fifteen years ago.

-A good one back then stood out.

-Today, you have maybe ten

-that are good enough to win.

-Class 25a was won by Winnie,

-owned by PL and OJ Watkins.

-I wouldn't like to choose a winner.

-The winning steer was Mata,

-owned by John Richard Owen.

-Here's the final showdown

-for the heifers.

-It's between the young heifer

-from Cwmhendryd, Lampeter...

-..and the one owned by

-Jim Hollingsworth from Mold.

-Two Welshmen being judged by a Scot.

-Jim has won it.

-The Baby Beef Heifer Championship

-went to JA Hollingsworth's Jeanie.

-The Baby Beef Steer Championship

-went to John Richard Owen's Mata.

-Now we have the Supreme Championship

-in the Baby Beef Section.

-It's the champion heifer

-versus the champion steer.

-It's an all-Welsh battle

-between Anglesey and Mold.

-It's a shame they can't both win.

-There's very little to separate the

-eventual champion from the reserve.

-It's a mere hair's breadth.

-The heifer takes it.

-The heifer takes it.

-

-Good old Jim has won it!

-I like the drama of the judge

-slapping the animal's backside.

-There's no room for doubt.

-It shows the strength

-of his decision.

-Congratulations to

-Mr JA Hollingsworth and Jeanie...

-..for winning

-the Baby Beef Supreme Championship.

-We'll be back soon

-..is well-known

-for breeding Beltex sheep.

-What are the Beltex like here?

-Hands off, it's very hard to tell.

-The standard is incredible.

-He has pulled some

-closer together now.

-The Butcher's Weight section

-and the Continental breeds.

-for the Continental pair this time.

-How about you?

-As a pair, I think

-I would go for the Continental.

-It's hard to say.

-The Butcher's Weight pair

-are a joy to behold.
